oh wow!
I watch very few monives actually, prefering to use my time to read. But I’d love to watch more adaptations of classics I read.
So I watched The Deadly Affair (1966), an adaptation of Call for the Dead, the first book in the George Smikey series by John le Carré.
And right now, I’m watching a 3 parts series on tress – The Secret Life of Trees. beautiful – not based on the book
I know the feeling….movie is enticing but there are so many books wait for me! But I do find that documentaries are really worth the time!
sorry for the typo, I meant of course George Smiley
